New Oriental Express Snow Lotus Train North and South Xinjiang Special Train:A moving scenic route across north and south of the Tianshan Mountains🚂
[Detailed route or destination introduction]
As the train slowly pulls out of Urumqi Station, a visual feast spanning north and south Xinjiang begins. The New Oriental Express Snow Lotus Train is designed with the concept of a “moving five-star hotel.” The entire train uses high-end carriages with 7-55 seats, equipped with panoramic glass windows, bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and 24-hour butler service. The newly upgraded “Snow Lotus Train” in 2026 specially adds an observation bar car and a starry-sky dome carriage, allowing passengers to fully enjoy the magnificence of the Tianshan snow peaks and Gobi sunsets while tasting Xinjiang specialty cuisine.
The uniqueness of this special train lies in its “land cruise” style travel experience. The train uses an intelligent temperature control system, striving to keep the carriage at a comfortable temperature of 22-25°C at all times, so even crossing the Taklamakan Desert feels as smooth as walking on flat ground. Each carriage is equipped with professional medical kits and oxygen equipment, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly travelers and family trips. According to the latest operating data in 2026, this route has accumulated more than 8 million kilometers and served over 120,000 passengers.
